Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila Strengthens its Commitment to the Community

Since the beginning of its operations, Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila S.A. has been an organization committed to its policy of social responsibility, both internal and external.Even so, in the past few months the company has taken significant steps to further increase the level of commitment to the wellbeing of the populations that live near its packing plants and shrimp farms.

Santa Priscila has devoted particular attention to the communities of Tugaduaja y Engunga, the two that are closest to the Chanduy and Pañamao shrimp farms, which belong to IPSP and are located in the province of Santa Elena.

During the month of November, workshops were carried out in Tugaduaja and Engunga with the purpose of discussing the topic of biodiversityand itsimpact on the environment.Facilitated by biologist Manuel Arellano, the workshops offered an opportunity to bring to the attention of the inhabitants of the two communities the variety of species, both plant and animal, that lives in the area.The workshops were also an opportunity to present theenvironmental management planof the shrimp farms and propose corresponding preventative and/or corrective measures aimed at the conservation and protection of the existing biodiversity.
